You won't find too many San Francisco 49ers fans willing to argue against former wide receiver Jerry Rice being the greatest NFL player of all time. When given the opportunity, Rice himself will even remind you.
NBC Sports Bay Area posted the following video of Rice via their @NBCSAuthentic Twitter account.
"I'm the f—king best football player of all-time," Rice told fans and former NBA star Charles Barkley after rattling off just a few of his career NFL statistics.
Rice later explained that he was just having a little fun with Barkley.
The video is reminiscent of when Rice helped reveal the 49ers' new alternate uniforms in May, rattled off statistics, and then finished it off by saying, "Joe Montana, Steve Young. I put both those guys in the Pro Football Hall of Fame."
While Rice was joking and entertaining the fans with both statements, he probably isn't wrong.
